Immersive games impossible at that price.
Nintendo is not concerned by competition from cheap $1 smartphone games and has no plans to lower its software prices accordingly, so says the creator of the 3DS.
Hideki Konno explained to Gamasutra that rather than lower standards to allow it to sell games for less, Nintendo planned to pour more resources into making sure its titles competed at a quality level, rather than on price.
“We’re not going to try to match that,” he insisted, addressing the issue of rock-bottom priced smartphone titles.
